BUY AND BUY
By Nora Roman 10-22-05

When George Orwell wrote 1984 even he couldn’t predict
The mind control this state has brought, it really makes me sick.
The future we are living could not have been foreseen
Where corporations have more rights than real live human beings.
Where propaganda is the news, and advertising rules
Where those who dare to speak up, are all dismissed as fools.
The doublespeak they spout all day, destroying people’s minds,
War is Peace, and torture’s right, ,hate is the tie that binds.
Fear is their new reality; their idol is a company
They wear its logo so proudly and buy and buy and buy
AND BUY, OH BUY, JUST BUY AND BUY,
OH BUY, AND BUY, JUST BUY AND BUY.

Rich white men rule cause they’re so smart
And everyone else wants to work at Walmart
Poor folks of color around the globe,
are murdered by these homophobes
Occupation is democracy, domination is their theocracy
SO BUY, OH BUY, JUST BUY AND BUY,
OH BUY, AND BUY, JUST BUY AND BUY.

Yes is no and no is yes, Welcome to the great U.S.
It rules the world by destroying it,
but don’t despair it’s for the best
Perpetual war on terrorists is better than fighting communists
Imperial power is full of zest, be glad you’re number One
AND BUY, OH BUY, JUST BUY AND BUY,
DON’T BUY, DON’T BUY, DON’T BUY, DON’T BUY.
DON’T BUY, DON’T BUY, DON’T BUY, DON’T BUY.
DON’T BUY, DON’T BUY, DON’T BUY, DON’T BUY
